Can anyone tell me what issues, if any, we may run into taking InDesign files back and forth between MAC and PC?

This seems like a topic that would have been addressed on the forum already. I did search diligently! If it has been covered already, I'd appreciate a link or a search term hint to the previous discussion.

Re: cross platform issues

Rob, we use it all the time here, without no problems: I precreate the
InDesign files with automated scripting on WinXP, afterwards they are
passed down to the typesetters on OSX who do the finetuning and relink
to the highres pictures. And, oh yes, we are using Opentype fonts as Bob
suggests.
